Hey Guys!! I am looking to get a nice tool set-up to do some of the wrench turning on my and my wifes scoots. I do not want to spend a fortune but I do not want a pile of crap either. Any recommedations of a good set-up to use??

Thanks!!

 

You can start out with something like this and add to it as you go.

 

Yea. get a good base to start from and just get anything else piece meal.

 

Good advice from WGB. I've had Craftsman stuff for 40+ years, still good.
And I get a nice feeling when I return a screwdriver that's obviously been used as a pry-bar, chisel, whatever, and they give me a new one, no questions asked.

Since I don't use tools professionally, they more than suffice, and I can't justify spending 4, 5 or 10X more for the Pro-quality stuff (Snap-on, Matco, Proto, etc)

Maybe for a few specialty items.

 

go to sears and get a set of craftsman tools

 

I got a set of Craftsman vise grips for Christmas. They are good, except for the large CHINA stamp on them.

 

I started with a set just like this and have just added to it over time.

 

Don't forget to buy some metric wrenches as well and the torx T27 bit....

Kobalt makes decent stuff too. Comparable to Craftsman and you get them at Lowes. Stanley and Mac are made by the same people and I think Snap on, Blue Point and Kobalt are the same producer too.

 

I've had Craftsman tools for years. Started off with one of their smaller sets and added on as needed. I keep having to add boxes because I have so many tools I run out of room. Craftsman tools are great and I've never had a problem swapping them out if I break one which isn't very often. I'm sure there are other brands out there that are just as good quality or better, but sometimes convenience wins out.
